Continued in the experimental animation studio this week instead of trying a new workshop as I still had ideas I wanted to try it out in this medium. I was fascinated with the visuals of the book being animated and I wanted to work it into another moving image piece.
I researched the concept of phonemes. They are used by animators for matching mouth shapes to language sounds. I thought this was a good direction for my project as it was a very direct link between the imagery of the mouth and the expression of language
I used procreate to animate the phonemes for the word coilíneachas. I overlayed it on different pages of the colonisation book I used for the famine man piece.
After animating it, I edited the colours and tones to create a more saturated, vibrant image.
~ Phoneme Stop-motion ~
My short little phoneme stop motion. It’s not perfect but it’s cute and a little awkward and I enjoyed playing around with the concept of this sassy little lamp character drinking her coffee then saying ‘hello’.
I felt awkward recording my own voice so I added in some more sound effects as a distraction from the awkward silence leading up to that moment.
I printed out the mouths that I drew digitally, cut and laid them out in order to get a better view of what the movement will look like.
I spent a year working at a business in China, and part of my job was to learn conversational Mandarin. And, honestly, as a budding linguist with a few other languages already under my belt, learning Chinese was one of my favorite parts of my job.
It wasn’t until I began learning Chinese that I realized a really important part of language learning that, in my experience, isn’t often emphasized in formal instruction.
When you are learning to speak a new language, you have to develop new muscles in order to produce the new sounds. And you do that the same way that babies do when they are acquiring language: lots and lots and LOTS of repetition of sounds.
My colleague would sit down with me in the evening and make me repeat the patterns from my book (seen above):
b-a = ba
b-o = bo
b-ai = bai, etc.
p-a = pa
p-o = po, etc.
m-a = ma
m-o = mo, etc.
And on and on with all the other combinations.
And then practice different tones for each one. Over and over. For hours.
It was not exciting. It was tiring. At the end of the lessons, the muscles in my jaw would ache.
But by the end of the year, I had developed a solid understanding of the phonemes in Mandarin and fairly good pronunciation.
so im recreating a sigil method from scratch. instead of it being based off the letters in a word it’s based off of the phonemes or basic sounds. the cool thing is each symbol is drawn how it’s pronounced- so your sigil is also a chant. it also works for literally any human language. i thought maybe it might be useful for witches who can/will not speak if they’re interested in chant work, but idk why im doing this. would anyone actually like to see it or am i wasting my time ?
every single time I have to sound out a phoneme: “do I even know how to speak this language? have I ever used the word ‘bad’ before? how do sounds work?”
How to Evolve Your Conlang - Part 1: Sound Change
How to Evolve Your #Conlang - Part 1: Sound Change
Languages are never set in stone, and your conlang shouldn’t really be either. This is to be the first part of a recurring series on the basics of historical linguistics and how to evolve your conlang. In this first part, I will discuss the various kinds of sound changes that can occur and how to apply them to conlanging.
The obvious way to use historical linguistics in conlanging is to first…
